1HE CANADIAN FISHERIES.
The Coming Negotiations Between England
and This Country.

WASHINGTON, August S1.-The Depart
mcnt Of State has rot yet been oticlalty adj
vised of Mr. Chamberlain's appointment as
president Of the Royal Commission charged
with the duty Of eifscling a sc'tlemcns OF
the questions at issue between the United
States and Great Britain concerning the
fisheries. While this government has not
yet selected the persons who will be en-
trusted with tie conduct Of the negotiation
in lis interest, yet little difficulty Is expected
to be met in finding men whose breadth ol
view and legal aculnen will ensure proper
presentation of the interests of the United
States and an agreement honorable ir terms
and satisfactory to the whole country.
Secretary Dayard will make it II point
that on the questions st issue our repreSen-
tatives shall present al undivided front.
He believes that there car be no doubt as
to the power of the President to appoint
the American Commissioners, as he is con
stitu;ionally authorized TO initiate ncSotla-
tions and make treaties with foreign cour-
tries, subject to ratification By TIE Senate.
The exact functions OF the Commission
have not been defined. Generally it vii!
consider all of the questions non 1T issue
between the United States and Canada
arising from the conflicting claims OF the
two countries respecting the fisheries, but
whether the result OF the negotiations, II
successful, will be a Dew treaty or an aml-
cable agreement under the treaty now oper-
ative cannot at p-osc2t be predicted. Inc
negotiations with Great Britain have, how
ever, now reached such 4 phase that Secre-
tary Bayard is encouraged in tho belief
that fual adjustment of the questions
which have vexed the two nations since the
expiration of the treaty of Washington is
near at hand.

MIR. POWDERLI's lDEAs.
How thr General Master Workman Analyzcs
the Government Laws.

General Master Workman Powderly, in
the last number Of the Kni ghts official or
gan. has issued three circulars to the Or
der. One, entitled Brave Men Behind
Gatling Guns, warns the woikmen against
force in the settlement of labor difficulties
and reads lesson to capitalists who adVo-
cate force to settle strikes. Another, en-
titled Speak Well Of the Dead, defends
Henry Ward Beechcr and shows he was a
friend of the workingma2. The third is
very lengthy and is entitled, "Wanted-A
New Government" In it Mr.. PoWderly
relates that in discussion with capitalist:
ne read part of the Declaration OF lnde-
pendence referring to all being created
equal. The source was not recognized and
the ideas were decried as revolutionary
Mr.. Powderly then analyzes at some length
what is meant by the Declaration and de
cides that although our forefathers over
threw monarchy. they did not overthrow
the aristocracy. The new shape the aris-
tocratic idea took IS that OF railroad mo-
nopolics and coal cliqueS, and against these
Mr.. Powderly strongly inveighs as violat-
ing the rights of a free people.
He says: did anyone, in read ing the
history of the past, ever stumble across d
more stupendous piece Of asininity that that
which keeps the coal away from the man
who wants it simply because few men
who have monopolized the gifts of the Gre
ator have so willed it,"
In treating of the Senate he says: 1T is
openly charged that a majority Of the
United States Senate owe their election to
railroad or national bank influence. Ills
statement has never been c0n;r:dlcted.
How long will the people continue 10 re
spect government that allows men TO put
up the nations rights to the highest bidder:
How long will the people continue TO up
hold government that turns on ear single
to the voice of wealth and passes by on the
other side when The voice of the common
people is raised in behalf Of justice? The
Gay has come to institute a new govern
ment that will effect a restoration OF the
rights of the people - In regard to the
loss IF running railroad under the Inter
State Commerce Act lie says: IT they can
not operate their railroads except at a loss,
then the government can 60 so and make
them pay

He set his teeth-this young girl
must not know how he suffered. And
vet he was helpless. for be could not
open his eyes. Angry at this help
lessncsS. he thrust back the little hands
now @lovelesS, and turned away. But
they would not be shaken off. Once
more they were extended, and the voice
took on pleading accent. Little as
he knew of French, Arnim was aware
that the girl was begging his forgive
ness, and wanted to take him to the
fountain in the midst of the garden.
His 1eet still resisted, but his head and
heart were already on the way, along
which he at length suffered himself to
be led.
Soon he telt over his infiamcd eye a
moist periumed handkerchief. The pain
abated. the well eye slowly opened and
gazed into the lovely face that, flushed
with mingled archness and anxiety,
bent toward him. "!Nerci 6iem made

A HITCH IN TINE.
How to Prevent Trousers from BaSgiuS at
the Knees.


CHOW do I keep my trousers from
basging at the knees?' echoed an CID
man who had served many years in the
British navy, in response to New York
Sun reporters question. "Why, that's
one of the simplest things in the world
if man only knows how, and will put
himself to trouble ct first. Jack Iar's
trousers, as you know, are very close
reefed and built snug and taut ali the
way down until near the bottom, where
they are given full sail and spread them
selves well over the boots. They are The
very kind that are apt to bag at the
knees; so one of the first things the
young landlubber is taught when he en-
ters the navy is how to wear them. No
doubt you have often heard Of the sailor
taking hitch in his trousers every time
he sits down, and no doubt you thought
he did it merely as q sort OF Introduction
to the yarn he was abont to spin. Yes,
few people would imagine that the hitch
is what keeps the trousers straight; but
Just think moment and you vii recol-
lect that they fit very tight around the
knee, and that whenever you sit down
and poke out your knees you stretch the
cloth. That's what makes the baggirg
when you sit down; you leave plenty Of
slack for the knees to play in, and your
clothes will wear out before they viii
bag. After taking the hitch 3 few times
it will become almost second nature to
you, and you viii do it uaconsciously
every time you sit down. The hitch may
be simple, but it's worth more to a man
than one of those patent s. trouser
stretchers. As for the coat, not one in a
dozen knows how to button It so that it
will set well. The proper way is TO be-
gin at the bottom button and so up.
Not day passes but have to laugh at
people who say they are going to button
their coats up, and then calmly proceed
to button them down.

Once-summer was already passing
with light footsteps through the land
when Arnim, at his pupils request,
had recited these dreamy verses, Hor-
tense rose suddenly, and with feverish
haste plucked a nosegay from : : red
roses and white lilies, which bl 'oned
in wild luxuriance in the gard :, and
laid it on the table before hiN, he
carried it in his hand as he went home,
delighting in its beauty and fragrance.
What dear. kind-hearted creature she
was. this little girl! Even his mother,
spite Of those "reminiscences of 1872,
could but love her.
The next noon when Arnim returned
from the gymnasium, he found . letter
from the Marquis. 1t containeda check
and some obligatory words of courtesy,
expressing much regret that the les
sons must be discontinued for q season,
as his daughter was abou: to visit Paris.
.Arnim persuaded himself that brief
pause in the lessons would be the best
thiHy for him, as his examinations were
near at hand. he also decided that he
would make no attempt TO bid Hortense
farewell. that in his visits to the forest
he would choose 4 path not leading by
the lat;iccd gate.
II the roses and lilies in that glass Of
water had only been less enchanting in
their perfume as he came to this con-
clusion. He was about to throw them
out ot the window; but why make the
poor flowers answer for reminding him
of TIE garden where they grew?
He kept his resolution until evening,
then he wandered again along the dear
old path. past the garden gate. He
wanted to say to his pupil that in her
absence he should no longer pass this
way. To let her 90 without one part
ing word would be discourtcsy. But
no Sh;mmcriEg white dress greeted
him: aIl was silent and empty. The
window OF the chamber looking on the
rar,ien WAS lighted: he saw figures
moving TO anI fro, and heard Fiine's
sharp voice. He fingered long, await

.aughcd so often and so mcrrily when
he was near! But tonight if she
laughed it was not aloud, and he slowly
returned home.
